Transition support for applicants and new starters
We run a series of Service Information Days over the summer months which give students an opportunity to visit Disability Services, find out more about the Service, obtain assistance with any paperwork or processes, have an accessible tour of campus, and meet other students. You are welcome to attend one of these Information Days, and we send information out to applicants in April with information on how to book. We also produce a Prospective Student Handbook which will tell you more about Disability Services and the support we offer.
Once you arrive in Leeds, we can arrange orientation support to assist with the busy first weeks, including Intro Week (Freshers’ Week). To access this support, you need to be registered with us and contact us over the summer months before you start so that we can arrange your support.
All academic departments also run their own induction events aimed at supporting students in making the transition to university. If you are planning to live in University Accommodation (Halls), there will also be welcome activities which take place within your accommodation, supported by the residential team. You will be sent information via email about these activities before you arrive in Leeds.
